Explore San Francisco Bay sailing with Capt Marco
Picture yourself on board the Evening Star with the wind in the sails, the breeze and sun on your face as you leave Sausalito and head out into the bay for a fun adventure. Together we will discuss the itinerary to suit your interests and the day's weather conditions and we can sail past or under the Golden Gate Bridge, along the San Francisco city front, past Alcatraz, around Angel island and through Raccoon straights.
The bay has a lot to offer, and you can choose to participate in the sailing, take a turn at the helm or you can sit back and enjoy a relaxing time. The Evening Star is a beautifully maintained 43' custom built sloop with a roomy cockpit and comfortable spacious interior with a galley (kitchen) and a head (bathroom). The boat has a steady motion and performs well in both light and heavy winds doing between 8 and 9 knots in favorable conditions.
She is USCG equipped and I have a USCG 100 ton license and over 40 years of sailing experience.
For: anyone who loves adventure, sailing, being on the water and experiencing something new.
Coast Guard 100 ton licensed Captain with a 43' fully insured sail boat.
Reviews
Captain Marcos boat is one of a kind, as is his first mate :P I've seen San Francisco from every point on land, and in air, but never by boat. The views of the San Francisco, the bridge(s), and Sausalito were simply breathtaking. If you're visiting San Francisco, seeing the city by boat is a one in a life time chance. You can tell Captain Marco has a deep passion for sailing and want to share is passion with others in every way!
This was seriously my funnest day in SF, and I've lived here for 2 entire years. If you've never been sailing, you should definitely go, but Captain Marco's sailboat is truly a gem. It has a really nice bottom level that I would even live in and glides through the water with grace. He'll tell you stories of stormy days from the past as well as bring you to see some of the most beautiful sights that the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer. If you ask nicely, you'll even get to steer the boat!
I've been a sailor on S.F. Bay for 25 years, on many different boats, and I can attest that Evening Star is one of the finest yachts to show off the Bay's magic. After several Charters aboard Marco's sweet-sailing boat, I would recommend it to anyone. Marco offers whatever you want: to take the wheel, crank a winch, or simply relax in the sheltered cockpit and enjoy the scenery and Marco's happy personality and lifetime of sea stories.
